Direct to the Brainstorm...

Often it's to easy to cancel a alert or answer a call when the Device is locked and you have to put it out of your pocket and out of your case.

There should be a better action instead only touching a button on the screen.


You hear a alert, put your maemo device out of the pocket and when you have it in your hand the display is dark again. When you unlock the device, there is no hint what's going on? You only know from the sound, was it a Alarm, a reminder or a Call you've canceled accidentally. But, a reminder? Have you Snooze it or disable it? Have you a appointment in 15 minutes or tomorrow? You have to go to the calendar and search what was going on.


This Brainstorm points to Calls, Reminders, Alerts, Alarms and every other event that needs a user action while the Device is locked. The target is to get a consistent solution for all kind of this events.
